Blasting my Head

 Since my upset in my plans on Friday and subsequent watching of the Coronation, I have not been well. I have not gotten enough sleep and consequently have been out of sorts. Right now, my body is throbbing. But, I was in bed for an hour and could not sleep. I don't toss and turn, but I do not sleep. 

Tommy fertilized all the flowers late this afternoon. They are all growing well. I am still waiting for more blooms. 

Today, I went to the dermatologist. He froze a thing on my head, my crown, a growth? He warned me I would get an ice cream headache. I told him I had never had an ice cream headache. He assured me I did not know what other people went through and how bad the freezing was going to hurt. Well, after four blasts of freezing, painful blasts, I felt nothing; my scalp was just a bit tight for about ten seconds. 

He said my infected finger was getting better and did nothing. Now, four hours later, it is worse with huge pocket of pus. So, now I go back. I have already operated on it twice, and it is back.

The two places he blasted/froze on my arm hurt so bad! I suppose I need to put a bandage on them the keep me from scratching or even touching them. I made another appointment to have a growth on another place frozen, and I will not tell you where that location is. 

Saturday night, I made meatloaf-filled bell pepper for Tommy and just a dish of meatloaf for me. I would not eat the bell pepper, so no use wasting one. Of course, I dice bell pepper in the meatloaf. That was dinner on Sunday night, too. We had slaw and squash and something else.

Tonight, we are having BLTs. I may just have mine in a bowl as a salad and only one slice of toast cut up. 

Tonight, as I stumbled out of bed after the failed nap, I decided to get more food from the bedroom for the kitchen--sweet relish, Hunt's tomato paste, Miracle Whip. Tommy had to tell me that we ran out of the sweet relish but had plenty of dill relish. All three items were bought on sale. Of course, we are eating cheaper than if we bought at today's prices. 

Have you had an ice cream headache? I wish I could have just one to see what it is like. My little brother had them every time, and I felt so sorry for him. 

Have you ever had a growth frozen off anywhere on your body? Hurts, doesn't it. 

Have you had a BLT yet this season? 

BLT Fail

Tommy put all the bacon on a pan I covered with parchment paper and put it in the oven. Then, he went out to water. I checked on it. He came in and went to check it. He came back into the living room and told me it was "very dark and shrunken." I rushed in to rescue the burnt bacon. I only succeeded in ripping the bacon out before it went totally black. Aaargh! My rushing was a fast limp. I did not fuss because it was his first view of bacon cooked in the oven. 

I told him to take things out, that we can return it to oven if it needs cooking more. The blt was not so pleasant with burned bacon. I will buy another package of bacon tomorrow and we will try again. His toast which he made himself was burned, also. I turned down the toaster so mine was only brown. I love toast but have not had any in a year. 

We have not eaten a tomato despite having had market-bought homegrown tomatoes since Saturday. I want a good blt before they go.  

Sunday, I mentioned to Tommy, "Didn't she say she was coming to clean Tuesday or was it Monday?" He immediately turned and said loudly, "Why is it that you cannot remember "anything?" Well, I was ready to murder him because he is the one who cannot remember, so he always verbally demeans me until we find what he says he "put right here." Well, no, it is still in the car despite his clarity of the memory. I never, ever turn on him when he cannot remember correctly! 

So, I got up early this morning because I was hot, suffocating. Then, it was too late to try to get sleep, so I stayed up. She did not come! Most certainly, I was correct. She is coming Tuesday. Finally, at noon I went to bed and took a looong nap--4.5 hours. 

While I slept, he washed and dried two of his blankets that had been lying in a corner for three years. He slept much later than I did, so he is not being overworked...lol. These are in garbage bags, sealed at the top so dust won't get it. 

While shopping for the bacon, I found a brand that is low sodium. It probably has extra sugar! No, I checked. It has 0mg sugar. 

Tommy carried the bags of clothing he is giving away to the car. So, it looks even better in here. We carry away lots of bags to recycle or donate from this house. I cannot imagine how the house would be if we left all this in here. Plus, we organize a bit on our own, not relying on the cleaner for every little thing. 

Until I had dinner about 7 pm, I had only eaten two scrambled eggs and about 10 ounces of milk. Since 7 pm, I had the blt and all the innards for another sandwich minus bread, sort of a salad. Just now, I had an apple. Then, I had some ice cream. I try hard!
